We're a group of makers shipping together. We help each other stay accountable and reach our goals.

I'm not sure. I like the idea of a tight nit community backing each other to do well. But on the flip side of that, making it public facing opens the maker up to more potential support and exposure.
Thanks, I was just worrying that it wouldn't make much sense to a user, but I think you're right. I have the branding sorted already also, so there's that.
I like to use coolors.co/ for inspiration.
I generally find a couple of colours/shades I like and then re-run the generator until I've created a pallet I'm happy with.
For staging sites, I tend to use cheap shared hosting with cPanel. Right now I'm using GoDaddy for that, very few problems with them. If this is for a production site though it might be worth considering their dedicated hosting, it'll still give you access to cPanel and FTP.
I like to use Trello, a typical Trello board for me looks a little something like....
Feature Idea > Promising Feature Idea > Backlog > Doing > Ready for QA > QA > Done
This is a good idea but it kinda already exists over at indiehackers.com
If I am not wrong, you can go there when you have an already launched/profitable project. I don't see a way to start a new "product" if I go here: www.indiehackers.com/products.
I would love to see the story behind it along the way, not as an afterthought (so, biased). What I am thinking about is a lot more like the Twitter's feed (without limitations). One could post video logs if he does take them, simple one-liners thoughts, more articulated posts, etc...
With features focused to highlight a project, build audience etc... would be cool even for other entrepreneurial adventures like physical shops and all kind of "side hustles".
While I know many here think differently around this, I'm not a huge fan of streaks being able to include things that aren't to do with making (which ties in with this wip.chat/questions/368). Streaks gamify making and (certainly in my case) motivate you to keep shipping, so it kinda irks me when I see things like "Woke up at 6:30am" just so that maker can keep up the streak. Some rules around this will clean up the feed to more meaningful entries and make the streak system more competitive.
I agree 100%, the biggest value of wip is being part of community of makers that ship, which helps us through the dips and motivates us to push through. There are plenty of free todo apps for personal tasks, lets keep this place focused on work and avoid devaluing its core purpose.
I agree. Maybe we can have some sort of private non-maker todo feature that people can use to manage todo lists that are personal. I personally like using a single app for everything, and since I am using WIP for work-related task management, I would love to use it for personal life's task management too. That being said, a private to-do list which might not count in streaks would be a great feature to have.
totally agree with this. im still a big fan of wip and use it to ask / answer questions + enjoy reading that chat but the streak element I feel a bit lost on. i just log my todos myself now. reason being: When i spend 5 hours on solving one today to get my streak going it just a bit demoralising seeing someone "keep their streak up" with such a nothing todo.
(But for some people they love the streak. So I'm not saying we take that away. just saying it doesn't work for me )
Thanks Rob, I'm not sure that this will suit my use case though - I've expanded on the question to provide more detail (I was unable to do this via the bot).
Ahh makes sense. I don't know of a plugin, but shouldn't cost more than a few hundred bucks to get one developed (if you're not a dev). Doesn't seem too onerous.
